Description
Hornady Black .338 ARC ammunition brings match-grade precision to a relatively new cartridge that's gaining traction fast among precision shooters. This load uses 175-grain HP Match bullets specifically engineered for target and competition work, delivering the consistency you need when it really matters.
Match-Grade Construction for Precision Performance
These rounds feature Hornady's quality brass cases, premium primers, and clean-burning powders formulated to give you shot-to-shot consistency. The 175-grain HP Match bullet is designed to group tight at distance while maintaining the structural integrity match shooters demand. At 2075 fps from a 16-inch barrel with 1673 ft-lbs of energy, you get a flat enough trajectory for practical shooting distances without excessive velocity that can introduce inconsistency.
Built for .338 ARC Platform Versatility
The .338 ARC itself is relatively new in the precision world, but Hornady designed these cartridges to function reliably across various rifle platforms and operating systems. Whether you're running direct impingement, piston systems, suppressed or unsuppressed setups, Hornady engineered this ammunition to feed, fire, and perform consistently. The ballistic coefficient of .385 G1 helps these bullets retain energy well for a mid-range cartridge.
Reloadable Quality Brass
Every round comes in quality Hornady brass that's specified as reloadable for handloaders. If you're building a precision load plan for competition or dedicated practice, this ammunition gives you excellent brass to work with for future handloading projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles are compatible with .338 ARC ammunition?
The .338 ARC is designed to function in AR-15 platform rifles with appropriate .338 ARC barrels and bolts. Multiple manufacturers including CMMG, Aero Precision, Wilson Combat, and Uintah Precision offer complete rifles or uppers in this chambering. Always verify your rifle is specifically chambered for .338 ARC before using this ammunition.
Can I use this with a suppressor?
Yes, the .338 ARC functions well with suppressors designed for .338 caliber or larger bores. You can run these 175-grain supersonic rounds through .338-cal or .45-cal suppressors without modification. Just verify your suppressor's bore diameter matches the .338 bullet before using it.
Is this ammunition reloadable?
Yes, these cartridges use quality Hornady brass cases that are fully reloadable multiple times. This makes them a solid choice if you handload, as you get premium brass components designed for consistency and performance.
What's the effective range for this load?
The 175-grain HP Match load is effective for precision target work and competition shooting out to around 200 yards. With its 2075 fps velocity and 0.385 ballistic coefficient, it maintains energy well for mid-range applications, though bullet drop increases noticeably beyond that distance due to the heavier, slower-moving projectile design.
